Hi!

 

I just joined in the hope that chatting about books can help motivate me to read more. I used to love reading when I was younger, but can't seem to get back into reading again.

 

The craving to pick up  a good book has started to grow and I'm trying to learn what types of book I'm interested in. - I keep reading blurbs and just keep thinking "meh, it sounds okay".

Thinking back, I've not read a great deal of books. However, those that stick out to me are:

  • I Am Legend - Richard Matheson
  • Animal Farm - George Orwell
  • Nineteen Eighty-Four - George Orwell
  • The Time Traveler's Wife - Audrey Niffenegger
  • The Time Machine - H.G. Wells
  • The Harry Potter Series (up to Order of the Phoenix) - J.K. Rowling

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K. Dick are on the same vein as 1984, but wholly different. They're also smaller, so they're good to help get back into reading.

 

Sounds good. I shall check those out, thank you woolf woolf.

:welcome2:  There are so many books available to us now that it is difficult to know what to choose. I see you have some time travel books in your list, so sometimes it can be good to stick to what you know works for you. If you use Amazon (or similar) you can just search a particular genre and narrow down the field until the blurbs start to grab you.

 

Happy searching.
